WhatsApp Introduced New Feature, "WhatsApp Status" Snapchat Like Feature

WhatsApp is by all means waxing stronger by the day as one of the largest Instant messenger app in the world. Just like Instagram introduced the ‘feature stories’ copied from snapchat, today whatsapp has announced a new feature that let you express yourself using a short video,

a feature inspired by snapchat.

The new feature "WhatsApp Status" will allow you to share photos, videos, and GIFs as your status(i.e. stories) which will auto-destruct in 24 hours. The feature was tested in November last year, and was pushed to beta testers last week. 

You will have the ability to control who sees your statuses. Starting with Netherlands and France, the feature will start rolling out for both iOS and Android today with other markets to follow.

I must say this is a really smart addition to WhatsApp helping you to alleviate boring status update all the time.
